  • Common device interface
    Patent number: 7032228
    Abstract: A common device interface for facilitating communication exchanges between physical transport drivers and higher-level software emulations. The common device interface is defined by an input/output control block (IOCB) data structure that allows those portions of different emulations and physical transport drivers that interact with each other to be generic. Thus, the emulation need not know or be concerned with the underlying characteristics of the type of physical transport driver with which it is communicating.
